The legend of 37-year-old Swedish midfielder Kennedy Bakircioglu grew today after the Hammarby IF legend hammered a free kick in the 79th minute of a 3-0 victory over Goteborg before celebrating by catching a beer and chugging it.
When you’ve made nearly 300 appearances for your club, scored almost 100 goals, been capped by Sweden 14 times and are now just a month away from your 38th birthday, you’ve earned yourself a cold one.
What’s incredible is that the goal is every bit as good as the celly. What a hit.

Kennedy sätter alltså en frispark i krysset från 29 meter och fångar sedan en inkastad ölmugg i farten och tar en segerklunk. Proffs. pic.twitter.com/fECVVj4Y4T

This isn’t the first we’ve seen of alcohol being imbibed on the pitch during game time. Former Minnesota United defender Justin Davis was no stranger to getting a little lost in the sauce out there, and Sebastian Giovinco even pulled it off once when playing Atlanta United.
Jozy Altidore scores, tries to head a beer thrown at him, Giovinco picks up the beer and drinks out of it. Amazing https://t.co/lM8l0sYPJU
